Fraternity men to 'Walk a Mile'

Article here. Excerpt:

'The men of WKU will hit the streets in high heels on Wednesday for the Interfraternity Council’s annual “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” event.

About 40 men signed up to wear a pair of heels while walking a mile around campus to raise awareness about sexual abuse and violence against women.

“We want to raise awareness to stop rape, violence and sexual assault,” said Phil Korba, IFC’s activities chair. “The money we raise will go to Hope Harbor.”

Hope Harbor is a non-profit organization in Bowling Green that offers support to women who are victims of abuse.

Because they had trouble getting men to sign up, IFC postponed the deadline for signing up several times.

“We were trying to make this event bigger than last year,” Korba said. “This is out of the guys’ comfort zone. They don’t want to walk around in red high heels.”

Korba said he hopes that the event will continue and that more and more men will participate.

“I would like to double the participation each year. Or even just add 10 every year,” Korba said. “The more guys you can get to do this the more of an impact we can make.”'
